Summary

This trial will test a new system that can measure 3D knee kinematics during physical and daily activities. The hope is that this will help understand the knee joint better and why it is often injured.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who are scheduled for knee arthroscopy due to a medial meniscal tear and can move their knee well enough to do certain tasks. People with active infections, severe knee swelling, stiff knees that can't bend fully, or those who limp heavily cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new system that uses personalized 3D bone imaging and a device attached to the bone through the skin under local anesthesia. It aims to precisely measure how the knee moves during physical activities and daily life.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the site where the device attaches to the bone, bruising from needle insertion under local anesthesia, and temporary pain or swelling after performing activity tasks.
